Managing Radiology Sustainably
Sustainability in radiology matters – for patients, the planet and all of us.
Our groundbreaking imaging solutions help you to reach more patients and
diagnose diseases earlier while minimizing the impact on our environment.
Managing Radiology Sustainably
Advancing sustainability in radiology is more than a one-size-fits-all approach. By combining targeted solutions, you can manage and optimize various aspects of your radiology department’s needs and priorities to meet your sustainability goals.
Under the banner of Managing Radiology Sustainably at this year’s RSNA, you can find the right solutions for four integral elements that ensure high quality of care for the long-term future:
- Resource preservation
- Workforce solutions
- Healthcare access
- Fleet management
Visit the dedicated Managing Radiology Sustainably area at booth 2529 to explore the four topics outlined below. The booth also offers a 10-minute augmented reality tour1 on how we address the challenges of speed, clinical quality, workforce shortage and resource preservation.
Resource preservation
Radiology alone consumes 7.5% of a hospital’s total energy bill. Energy-efficient scanners help to reduce power consumption and carbon emissions.
For example, the Biograph Trinion PET/CT2 scanner provides a sustainable investment from day one. It offers economical installation and operational costs through its compact footprint, energy-efficient air-cooled design and automated energy-saving features like smart powersave mode.
In MRI, the MAGNETOM Flow. platform delivers 30-40% energy savings annually3 compared to previous generations. The System Start-up timer ensures a smooth start in the morning without delay. And our Eco Power Mode brings significant energy savings during non-working hours.
Take the green radiology pledge at RSNA
At the booth, you can join our green radiology pledge to advance sustainability in radiology together by switching off systems at night and activating Eco Power Mode. It’s free and can save a lot of energy and costs over the lifespan of each scanner.
Lowering costs at peak efficiency
We’ve helped DIE RADIOLOGIE, a leading German radiology practices network, reduce scan times and energy consumption by 43%, lowering costs while operating at peak efficiency4. See how DIE RADIOLOGIE lowered their energy consumption for a more sustainable radiology department.
Reduce resources with circular solutions
Another way to reduce resources is through circular solutions such as our new SOMATOM X.cite eco5 and SOMATOM X.ceed eco5 as well as Fit Upgrades for MRI, CT and MI systems.
Join us at the booth for expert talks on Concrete solutions to advancing sustainability in radiology (December 2 at 2.30pm, December 3 at 3pm or 3.30pm, or December 4 at 12.30pm).
And visit our Sustainability in Radiology website for more useful tips such as energy-saving best practice guides.
Workforce solutions
Shifts in global demographics and the rise of disease burdens are resulting in the need to deliver high-quality care to a growing number of patients with limited financial and human resources. Are you capable of sustaining this level of care?
We help you achieve better clinical outcomes with higher productivity, improve patient care and enhance the wellbeing and skills of your staff. Come and talk to us at our booth to find out more about what we have to offer.
Also, join our expert talk on December 2 at 3.30pm on the topic of "Alleviating workforce challenges: Partnering to make radiology an attractive workplace", where we talk about our comprehensive portfolio featuring artificial intelligence, automation, and workforce solutions that can optimize workflows, reduce high workloads, and enhance patient satisfaction.

Healthcare access
We are committed to helping you expand healthcare access for all people and communities. This requires working together to comprehend and address the social, economic and environmental causes of healthcare disparities. With a shared vision for a shared impact, we can transform the system of care to ensure high-quality healthcare is more affordable and accessible, no matter where a patient lives.
Our expertise covers:
- The rise in outpatient care supported by new technologies and business development services
- Community screening programs to save lives through early detection
- Virtual access to experts for care teams to increase productivity and provide the highest quality of care in all locations
- Educating the next generation of healthcare workers through long-term Value Partnerships
Since 2018, the Siemens Foundation has invested over $15.5 million, including funding and in-kind donations from the Siemens Healthineers Fund of the Siemens Foundation, in workforce training, community development and health equity, and is committed to economic, social and racial justice for all.
